Jars Of Clay Album

I watch you smile
you steal the show
you take a bow
the curtain falls in front of you
you're magical, on display
I gaze into your eyes and
you turn to look the other way

but I'd really love to know
I'd really love to climb
my way into your heart
and see what I could find
I'd walk into your skin
swim through your veins
see it from your eyes
cause i'd really love to try, yeah

standing still
but in my mind
trying to escape
lookin' for a place to hide
it's not safe, but I'm so near
invading every place you go to disappear

I'd really love to know
I'd really love to climb
my way into your heart
and see what I can find
I'd walk into your skin
swim through your veins
see it from your eyes
I'd really love to try

I'd really love to know
I really want to climb into your soul
walk into your skin
swim through your veins
see it from your eyes
I'd really love to try
I'd really love to try

yeah, try

I'd really love to know
I'd really love to climb
my way into your heart
and see what I can find
I'd walk into your skin
swim through your veins
see it from your eyes

I'd really love to try
I'd really love to climb my way into your heart
and see what I could find
I'd walk into your skin
swim through your veins
see it from your eyes
I'd really love to try
I'd really love to try
yeah, yeah

yeah, I want to get inside the you you're hiding from
(yeah)
yeah, I want to get inside the you you're hiding from
(yeah)
I want to get inside the you that you are hiding from
(yeah)

if you put your arms around me
could it change the way I feel?
I guess I let myself believe
that the outside might just bleed its way in
maybe stir the sleeping past
lying under glass
waiting for the kiss
that breaks this awful spell
pull me out of this lonely cell

close my eyes and hold my heart
cover me and make me something
change this something normal
into something beautiful

what I get from my reflection
isn№t what I thought i'd see
give me reason to believe
you'd never keep me incomplete
will you untie this loss of mine
it easily defines me
do you see it on my face?
that all I can think about is how long
I've been waiting to feel you move me

close my eyes and hold my heart
cover me and make me something
change this something normal
into something beautiful
into something beautiful
into something beautiful

and i'm still fighting for the word
to break these chains
can I still pray when I look in your eyes
stare right back down
into something beautiful

so close my eyes and hold my heart
cover me and make me something
change this something normal
into something beautiful
into something beautiful
into something beautiful
into something beautiful

peace takes a taxi to the underground
I want to love the world, but I don't know how
I blame it on the d.j. playin' all the fast songs
ain't spinnin' anything that I can sing along

so if you know the words, then try to sing along
and when you get the beat, grab a hammer, bang a gong
'cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong
to be a revolution, yeah
to be a revolution, yeah

if you wanna learn to play the rock guitar
throw down your guns, you're gonna be a star
you got to begin with who you know you are
to be a revolution, yeah

'cause the time is right to cross that line
to let love find a way

so if you know the words, then try to sing along
and when you get the beat, grab a hammer, bang a gong
cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong
to be a revolution, 's alright
to be a revolution, 's alright, yeah

yeah

alright

so if you know the words, then try to sing along
and when you get the beat, grab your hammer, bang a gong
'cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong
to be a revolution, alright, yeah

if you know the words, then try to sing along
and when you get the beat, grab a hammer, bang a gong
'cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong
to be a revolution, alright, yeah, yeah

if you know the words, then try to sing along
and when you get the beat, grab your hammer, bang a gong
'cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong
and be a revolution, yeah, yeah, yeah
a revolution, yeah

be a revolution, yeah

be still
let your hand melt into mine
the part of me that breathes when you breathe is losing time
I can't find the words to say
I'll never say goodbye

CHORUS:
and I'll fly with you through the night
so you know I'm not letting go
I'm not letting go
my tears like rain fill up the sky
oh, my love, I'm not letting go
I won't let you go

I saw the host of silent angels waiting on their own
knowing that all the promises of faith
come alive when you see home
hold still and let your hand melt into mine

[CHORUS]

shed your heart and your breath and your pain and fly

now you're alive
now you're alive
now you're alive
now you're alive

I won't let you go
I'm not letting go
I won't let you go
I'm not letting go
I won't let you go

strangely out of place
there's a light filling this room where
none would follow before
I can't deny it burns me up inside
I fan the flames to melt away my pride
do I want shelter from the rain
or the rain to wash me away?

CHORUS:
I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you, I need you
you're all I'm livin' for

I might sound like a fool
but I think I felt you moving closer to me
face to the ground to hide the fatal cut
I fight the weight, I feel you lift me up
you are the shelter from the rain
and the rain to wash me away

[CHORUS]
I need you, I need you, I need you
you're all I'm livin' for
(all I'm livin' for)
all I'm livin' for
(all I'm livin' for)
you're all I'm livin' for

face to the ground to hide the fatal cut
I fight the weight, I feel you lift me up
I can't deny it burns me up inside
I fan the flames to melt away my pride
I only had a second to spare
but all the time in the world to know you're there
you are the shelter from the rain
and the rain to wash me away

I need you, I need you, I need you
(all I'm livin' for)
I need you, I need you, I need you
(all I'm livin' for)
I need you, I need you, I need you
you're all I'm livin' for
(all I'm livin' for)
all I'm livin' for
(all I'm livin' for)
you're all I'm livin' for
(all I'm livin' for)
all I'm livin' for
(all I'm livin' for)
you're all I'm livin' for

take, take 'til there's nothing
nothing to turn to
nothing when you get through
won't you break
scatter pieces of all I've been bowing to
all I've been running to
where are you?

where are you?

did you leave me unbreakable?
leave me frozen?
I've never felt so cold
I thought you were silent
I thought you left me
for the wreckage and the waste
on an empty beach of faith
was it true?

yes, I, I got a question
I got a question
where are you?

scream
deeper, I wanta scream
I want you to hear me
I want you to find me
I, I want to believe
but all I pray is wrong
and all I claim is gone

well, I, I got a question
I got a question
where are you?

yeah, yeah

well, I, I got a question
I got a question
where are you?

where are you?
where are you?
where are you?

if I was your love
I would want only you
I'd lay at this altar
give all I am, all that is true

and this old scarlet letter won't keep me from holding you
and there is nothing you can do
nothing you do
nothing you do

for love I have scaled the face
of these kingdom walls
so let down your hair
let our kiss make, fools of them all

and this old scarlet letter won№t keep me from holding you
and there is nothing you can do
nothing you do
nothing you do
nothing you do
nothing you do

nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

and this old scarlet letter won't keep me from holding you
and there is nothing you can
oh, there is nothing you can do
no, there is nothing you can do
can't do

all her wants to fill a need
she wants to save you with her bandages
after she makes you bleed
like a vampire, a parasite
stretch the neck of her victim
she finds her prey in broad daylight

when you're up, she's down
you're down, she's up, it whips around
it's the ride the way that she needs it

CHORUS:
whatever she wanted for whatever you need
speechless and silent while she takes everything

kryptonite underneath
you used to be her superman
but now you're fading, now you're weak

never how or why
it worked to play the big lie
to dim the truth from causing her wet eyes

[CHORUS]

yeah
[CHORUS]
everything

yeah

[guitar]

yeah
[CHORUS]
she takes everything
whatever she wants
it's everything

trace the shape of my heart
'til it becomes more familiar to your eyes
I've been lost without you
cold without your love
it's taken days and nights to make me realize

CHORUS:
rescue me from hangin' on this line
I won't give up on giving you
the chance to blow my mind
let the eleventh hour quickly pass me by
I'll find you when I think I'm out of time

take the place of my heart
'til I become a stranger to my life
I've been down without you
wrong without your love
in time will I be what you're thinking of?

[CHORUS]

I've been down without you
cold without your love
in time will I be what you're thinking of?

[CHORUS] x 2

time
time
time

not much for conversation
I still find need to pray
sometimes I get tired of walking
through these ordinary days

if nothing else I get to see you
even if we never speak
the harm of words is sometimes we don't
quite know what they really mean

CHORUS:
I don't know where
I don't know how
I don't know why
but your love can make these things better

let me lay down in this field
and stare up at the sky
I hope the days and clouds turn into something
as they pass us by

and maybe you could settle
for a skyline faded blue
I hope that you might settle
for this love I have for you

[CHORUS] x 3
your love can make these things better
your love can make these things better
your love can make these things better

have you ever been haunted
the way I've been by you?
and have you ever felt
the measure of the days that I've spent waiting
pining for you?

I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I don't want to step from these shadows
'til you're comin' back again

I've dammed the emotions
to keep my lanterns lit
I'm shaken by this longing
that course through my veins
in my mind I can't make sense of it

I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I get so used to these shadows
are you comin' back again?

do we give up this search and turn out the light?
and give up this holy ghost that rattles through the night?

I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I don't want to step from these shadows
'til you come back again

I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I get so used to these shadows
will you chase away these shadows
when you come back again?

when you come back again
when you come back again
when you come back again
when you come back
when you come back again
when you come back
when you come back again
